Okay This is going to be
a hard review to write. One of the reasons I had to read We Were Liars was
because I kept hearing that this was the
book to read, but you can’t know what it is about. . . you just have to read it.
Honestly, if you
don’t see it coming (which I did but the book made me doubt myself) I think this book will shock you and have you flipping back and re-reading over and over again.
We Were Liars
centers around Cadence Sinclair and
the extended Sinclair family. Each summer he family summers on their private island. Blonde, pretty and
privileged on the outside the Sinclairs seems to have everything, but on the inside greed,
jealousy and denial threaten to take over.
Something happens on Cady’s 15th summer at the island that she has no memory of, now two years later she’s going to find out how far the lies go.
This was exactly the type of contemporary novel that works for me because it takes on so many topics. Lockhart explores race, class, romance and family in a way
that makes you doubt what you know and what you think you know about the characters.
